Artistic Director, Adam Hemming, chats to playwright and director, Magali Jeger, from Two Flats Theatre. We discuss Magali’s soon-to-be published novel, World theatre and historical fiction in advance of the run of The Dalton Sisters at the Space (10th-14th May, livestream on 11th May and on demand access for two weeks after that).
Soho, London; 1968. Salome stumbles upon a burlesque nightclub and finds herself in The Dalton Sister’s dressing room. She urgently needs a place to sleep and some money to make it through the week.
“Welcome to Honey Bliss Cabaret!”
The Dalton Sisters welcome Salome with (half-) open arms. But she quickly realises that there are secrets hidden behind all the sweet pizzazz. One name in particular gives them shivers: that of the previous dancer who this newcomer has the responsibility of replacing. What happened to Rue? And will Salome thrive or will she take a dive?
Between glasses of bubbly, sparkly costumes and the unwanted visit of a detective, the girls and their burlesque mother will have to decide the fate of the club as well as their own.
The Dalton Sisters is a whodunnit style, female–led play and explores burlesque, the late 1960’s liberation through sexualisation, sisterhood, LGBTQIA+ and the female experience.
“I don’t mean to be rude miss Novak, but could you please put some clothes on?”
